I must admit, when I think of the word "Seasons" I stereo-typically think of the Seasons of Nature - Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer.
So when I saw that this was the theme for an exhibition being held in Margaret River (Western Australia) as part of the Readers and Writers Festival, I knew I wanted to paint a very ethereal/ghostly type girl, which would represent the Season - Winter.
However, there was a restriction. The size was to be no bigger than 18 x 18 inches. Typically I like to work large and might throw in a smaller piece every now and again, so I found this a bit of a challenge. A good kinda challenge though. I always like to change things up a bit, otherwise doing what I love the most, would get boring and then it would no longer be doing what I love (right?).
So here is the end result of my thought processes and I must say I am pretty happy. I cannot wait for the opening night of this exhibition on 2nd May. I LOVE OPENING NIGHTS. Why? Because it throws me out of my comfort zone. Yep I get so nervous, sweaty, jumpy and crazy all at the same time. As weird as that may sound to be excited about that, I am constantly looking of ways to push myself. Both in my artistic ability and my social skills ability (I am an introvert at heart).
The original painting as mentioned above is not for sale, however she is available as a print, tote or throw pillow. You can find those items here at my Society 6 Shop.
As always thank you for popping by
